Gold prices have surged over $700 this year, recently surpassing $3,350 per ounce, with some analysts forecasting a potential rise to $3,500 by the end of May. This rally has been fueled by strong central bank demand—particularly from emerging markets—alongside increased speculative activity in derivatives markets. While short-term corrections are expected, possibly dipping below $3,000 over the summer, the long-term trend remains bullish. Silver, which has lagged behind gold, is projected by some to reach $38–$42 per ounce this year, with the potential to retest its historic highs if momentum builds. The global silver market also faces a growing supply deficit, now projected at nearly 149 million ounces for 2024.

Given that repressed commodity values are now near 100-year low level valuations versus large US stocks, James remains convinced investors and savers should buy and maintain a prudent physical bullion position now, before more unfunded promises debase away in the coming decades.
